Porto dropped their first Liga Sagres points of the season, drawing 2-2 with Estoril at the weekend.

It was the Dragoes' second limp performance of the week after labouring to a 1-0 victory over Austria Vienna in the UEFA Champions League, but at least Jackson Martinez kept up his goals-per-game ratio.

They're still top of the league, but their lead has been trimmed to just a single point.

A disappointing loss to Manchester United brought Bayer Leverkusen's reliance on Lars Bender to the fore, and without them, they struggle to do little other than counterattack against the bigger sides.

With the German international back in the side at the weekend, the Werkself recorded an impressive 4-1 victory away to Mainz to ensure they kept pace at the top of the Bundesliga.

They'll face a true test in two weeks when they host Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich.

The defending champions were unlucky not to take more from the game as they created by far the better chances and dominated possession, but were left frustrated once again as the Zlatan Ibrahimovic-Edinson Cavani relationship continues to struggle to reach its potential.

Of greater concern for PSG will be the injury suffered by captain Thiago Silva who will now miss an indefinite period of time, expected to be between 3-6 weeks at least. The Brazilian's absence comes at a crucial time for PSG with difficult matches against Benfica, Marseille and Saint-Etienne to come.

The unstoppable train has been halted, and Borussia Dortmund's form has taken a turn for the worst after two poor results.

A few key players aside, Nurnberg are not formidable opponents, and this is not the first time Jurgen Klopp's men have struggled away from home in the Bundesliga. A midweek loss to Napoli, therefore opening the UEFA Champions League campaign with zero points, simply made a tough group tougher.

3. Barcelona

Barcelona have taken some criticism for their performance against Rayo Vallecano—almost as if they didn't bag a 4-0 victory on the road.

They're still unbeaten in La Liga, boast a goal differential of plus-14 and have notched a nation-wide best 18 goals thus far. Lionel Messi and Neymar are slowly gelling, while Cesc Fabregas is quickly becoming one of the finest midfielders in world football.

Movement: Up One

The Atletico Madrid machine rolls on, this time securing a tough away win at a stubborn Real Valladolid.

In their midweek UEFA Champions League bow, they saw off a seasoned challenge of Zenit St. Petersburg side headed by Luciano Spalletti. Taking away their Supercopa de Espana aggregate loss, Diego Simeone's side have won every single game this season.

Diego Costa got himself on the scoresheet once again while facing the Pucela, and emerging midfield talent Koke turned in another splendid showing.
